Sent in a photo of himself, as a boy in a scout uniform, to secure his audition with Deep Purple in 1973.

The original 1982 version of the Whitesnake classic, "Here I Go Again", featured the line, "Like a hobo, I was born to walk alone", but the 1987 version replaced the word "hobo" with "drifter".

Because the current line up of Deep Purple refuses to perform any of the material from the the albums David Coverdale sang on if a fan now wants to hear Deep Purple classics such as "Burn", "Might Just Take Your Life", "Mistreated", "Stormbringer", "Lady Double Dealer", etc. in concert they now have to go see Whitesnake who usually incorporates those songs into their setlists.

Two children: Jessica (b. 1978) by his first wife; Jasper (b. 1996) by his third wife.
